Certificate in Business as Mission
(12 hours – excluding requisites)
Business as Mission describes a holistic approach to making disciples through the various activities of business. BAM companies are for-profit enterprises that maintain both a strategic business objective as well as a strategic missions objective. Often these BAM companies operate in countries in which traditional mission approaches are either illegal or ineffective. The certificate in Business as Mission will equip students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the purpose, principles, and challenges of starting and running a BAM company.
